Highly respected for his film noir classics in the 1940s, but blacklisted by the studios during the Hollywood witch hunts, Connecticut-born Dassin finally revived his filmmaking career in Europe with this film. Starting over, Dassin created the prototype for many subsequent “heist films.” Tony le Stéphanois, free after a five-year prison sentence, discovers his girl friend has been unfaithful, so he proposes to old friends that they commit “one last heist.” This time it will be the burglary of a very elegant jewelry showroom. Drawing on the stylish chiaroscuro style of film noir, Dassin created a magnificent film full of tension, striking imagery, long dialogue-free scenes, sympathetic characters, and despair.
